*传说中,丘比特朝阿波罗射出了金箭,令他心中生起了爱情,喜欢上路过的达芙妮;但丘比特同时朝达芙妮射出了铅箭,令她变得厌恶并拒绝爱情。最终达芙妮为了逃避阿波罗热烈的追求,在众神的帮助下变成了一棵月桂树。
“One shaft is pointed with refulgent gold
To bribe the love, and make the lover bold;
One blunt, and tipped with lead, whose base allay
Provokes disdain, and drives desire away.”
——from Metamorphoses(变形记)
**这里秋弥其实混合了两种说法。关于丘比特的箭,普遍的讲法是有金箭和铅箭(↑);另一种说法则是金、银、钢三箭:金箭是轻柔且容易治愈的深刻的爱情、银箭是比前者要差许多倍的不幸的爱情、钢箭则是永远无法治愈的爱情。(渣翻译)
“And by him hang thre arowis in a cas
The first that hedit is of gold
He smytis soft and that has esy cure;
The secund was of silver, mony fold
Wers than the first and harder aventure;
The third of stele is schot without recure.”
——from The Kingis Quair
